PlayforStrays, a registered charity, brings toys for positive enrichment and mental stimulation to dogs and cats in rescues locally and globally.

It's swiftly coming to the end of the outdoor seas It's swiftly coming to the end of the outdoor season for Paul and Andrew on the PlayforStrays Sanctuary. For those that support their care, thank you, we absolutely couldn't have them here without your regular donations. Winter housing is expensive so if you too are able to help with a regular monthly donation it would be highly appreciated. We would really like to fully fence their field this year too as it's currently secured with a solar electric fencer. We might do a separate appeal for that later but enough regular donations could also cover it. Send us a message and we'll forward the details, thank you. 💜🐮🐮
Our next full van load of donated Farmina food fro Our next full van load of donated Farmina food from www.vetpetni.co.uk went to The Hullabaloo Sanctuary in Fermanagh. 
In total transparency we didn't bring it down to them, instead Jules drove up to us over two evenings to collect it.  Rescue's collecting from us really helps us and we can do other things.....such as our full time day jobs and sanctuary chores. Thank you Jules! 💜🐾

Janet will redistribute this food to those independents and feral colonies that reach out to her.
Working together with Lila's Legacy like this helps to keep our costs down while still having maximum impact.  Can't be accused of scamming or being unfair then either, can we......

All Jollyes stores across the country are currentl All Jollyes stores across the country are currently doing their tinned cat and dog food appeal for multiple rescues. Whichever rescue they support please donate a tin or two if you can.
Without doubt the least amount of donations we get is for cat food, so we really hope this helps struggling cat rescues out there. 💜🐾

This International Dog Day we wanted to share our own multinational pups. Our Amazon Girl Negrita is still in charge, with Siobhan and Sean coming from China with all the chill vibes. Duke arrived this year, bringing his cheeky personality. We love them all too much 💜🐾

Huge thanks to Hill’s Pet Nutrition for the 34 bags of adult cat food. 
Reminder, Lila's will redistribute this across multiple orgs and feral feeders to ensure as many cats as possible benefit 💜🐾
When we were asked by one of NI's biggest animal h When we were asked by one of NI's biggest animal heroes if we could take in two birds at the sanctuary, nothing prepared us for what was their previous 'home'. A single bird in each, of different species, and deplorable conditions. They never saw daylight, rain or clearly any love. Tucked away in a barn they lived a life of utter hell.
We've got them in a more suitable space where they can now fly, feel the air on their feathers and enjoy a shower of rain if they want. 
Cages are now squashed and binned!
